Mark Twain's participation In q ball

persons who did not know that he has for
many years made that place his summer
home. 1t was there that he married the
daughter of q very wealthy coal operator
named Langdon, who died several years
ago. Mark built himself house at some
distance from the heart of Elmira on q con-
siderable elevation called Quarry hill, and
though the toWnsfolk usually say they
would not like to live there because tits so
far from town, he likes it because he gets
cool air and sufficient privacy from intrud-
ers to be able todo most of each years lit
erary work there. His horse and carriage
soon put him in town when he wants to go
there, and the rest of the time he spends
with his wife and friends, or around his
billiard table, or far up stairs in the airy

Flirting in Spite of Regulations.

"a Love laughs at treasury regulations as
well as at locksmiths. Some time ago the
chief clerk of the treasury department
issued an order prohibiting clerks from
visiting and promenading the corridors
during business hours. Prior to this regu-
lation the treasury girls spent consider
able time in visiting each other and in
walking leisurely around the corridors
with fayorite masculine clerks. For q
time the new order effectually suppressed
the abuse aimed at, as all persons found
visiting or walking about idly were re-
ported to the chief clerk. The order still
produces good results, yet many male and
female clerks with disposition for flirta-
ton have devised plan by which they
may enjoy a promenade Of mile without
being detected by the minions of the chief
clerk. The treasury building is about 300
by 200 feet in dimensions and is quad
triangular in form, with a central wing
stretching from east to west, thus connect
ing the building into double quadrangle.
Two elevators, located in different corners
of tho building, carry all corners from
floor to floor. The length of the corridors
of each story extended in q straight line is
q full quarter mile, and rs there arc four
stories we have a full mile of corridors,
forming with their tiled floors, frescoed
walls and vaulted ceilings most charming
promenade.
To be found lettering on any particular
floor is to insure report and reprimand,
and repetition Of the offense brings adj
monition or suspension or discharge.
Some of the girls of the treasury arc smart
as well as pretty, and have devised plan
by which they may join each other and
their beaus without fear of the chief clerk
and his sentinels. Meeting ut an ap-
pointed hour and place, these couples will
promenade the entire length of the CORR
doris Of one floor, and then, taking separ-
ate elevators SO as to avoid detection, will
proceed to the next floor and leisurely
continue their 'tspooning" while they
make the circuit of its corridors. This is
repeated until they have traversed the
corridors of the four floors, when each
will repair to his and her proper division,
using both elevators for this purpose,
having walked mile, killed half hours
time, knocked out the eye Of the chief
clerk" and had 'slovcly time. Wash

hopeful that considerable portion of the

Meantime contractors have entirely
